For ghost of tsushima, all of them, as it has fsr3 and dlss 3 support.

There is a soundcard in the bluetooth headphones and wires are dirt cheap, it's not about that. Proper lightning headphones require getting your product certified by apple ($$$) and a special apple chip added in ($$$) because iPhones refuse to connect to devices that aren't.
But they will connect to all bluetooth devices.

Or the Seat Mii Electric, it's even slightly more bare bones than the Citigo-e. Basically the VW group decided that instead of one car with three trim levels, they spread them under three different badges.
Though the dashboard is basically identical in each one (even the e-up) and what's missing are parking sensors, cruise control, steering wheel buttons and stuff like that, so all of them fit the "not a smartphone on wheels" requirement.

Live Paper is not E-Ink, so it shouldn’t have the same inherent issues with ghosting or refreshing.

E-ink is a very specific display technology with ink particles floating in oil controlled by magnetic fields. They don't explicitly state what this Live Paper exactly is, but they do state it's something that solves the downsides of typical reflective LCDs, so, probably one of those but better.
Actual e-inks have the benefit of looking like ink blobs on paper and not square pixels, and the image staying even when power is completely removed, and the massive downside that because they are being physically moved, it actually takes a bit of time so they have terrible refresh rates.

Xen was really rushed and shorter than originally intended in HL1 though, and part of the idea with BM was to flesh it out properly. Might have gone a bit too far, but it was also one of the few places in the project where they could truly come up with something new and unique, and not just redo what Valve had made before them.

NACS is just the standard CCS protocol shoved in the objectively better Tesla plug, and part of making it a standard is the requirement of opening the design for everyone to use. So while the plug is from Tesla, they actually were the ones that switched to the CCS protocol first and dropped their own proprietary system, which is how they were able to open the Supercharger network to other cars in the first place.

And that's also why NACS is backwards compatible with all current EV chargers that already exist with a simple adapter - either by the driver, or by swapping the cable.

Because the internet has made it both easier to do, and to enforce.

But it's not a new thing at all, patents and copyrights have been enforced from pirates for well over a hundred years. This is from 1906

They should. But you can't exactly be surprised if you get in trouble because you broke the law, no matter how stupid you think that law is.
I think it's stupid that you can't always turn right on a red light. Plenty of people would agree. I'll get a ticket if I do it anyway, and it'll be my own fault.

Libraries buy either physical books, or licenses to ebooks, and can only lend out as many of them as they own at a time. IA skirted the line by lending out self-digitized versions based on how many physical books they had, which was a grey area, but technically maybe not illegal.
They then disabled that lending limitation.

There's really nobody who would argue that taking a CD, ripping it to MP3s, and providing those for unlimited download is anything except piracy, and the people suing IA are claiming same goes for books. And it is rather hard to find a compelling legal reason why it isn't.

I absolutely loved the Mako. I know I'm in the minority, but I just love how it drives. And stomping on a Colossus with the jump jets is always funny.

As the passive aggressive outro from SuperfastMatt goes:

"It used to be that you had to impress people to get people to watch your show, now you just have to impress the algorithm. So do me a favour, hit that subscribe button, all hail the algorithm."
